Galaxy artificial living wall

Artificial living wall panels are easier than you think to install. Check out our in depth step-by-step guide to installing an artificial living wall.

• Work out how many mats you need
  Most of our living wall panels are either 25cm2, 50cm2, or 1m2. So, you'll need either 16, 4, or 1 per square meter. The mats can be cut to shape and size to fit your space perfectly with some strong scissors if you need to.
  
• Create a frame
  For ease and to prevent damage to your wall, we recommend making a simple wood frame or purchasing some trellis. Attach this frame to your wall using fixings that are recommended for your wall type.
  
• Join the mats together
  All of our green wall panels have A/B connectors which slot into each other to create a seamless roll of foliage. If you're covering a large area, join manageable strips together. You can join the rest once the mats are attached to the wooden frame.
  
• Attach the green wall panels to the frame
  The faux living wall foliage can be attached to the frame using hooks, cable ties or our preferred method; a staple gun. This final step is easier with two people. One person who can hold the living wall in place, and then another person can secure it to the frame.

Indoors, an artificial green wall can last for 10 years, or as long as you want them in place. If you're using them outside, the sun, wind, rain and other weather will reduce their lifespan.

Most of our artificial living wall products will last for at least 5 years outside in the UK.

Adding a living wall indoors is a great way to bring the outdoors in and over the years we've seen it all from secret doors to botanical bedrooms and trendy biophilic office spaces. What's more, an indoor living wall will last longer than outdoors as it won't have to endure the elements.

Installing an indoor living wall works just the same as an outdoor one, just make sure to use fixings suitable for your wall type!

Green walls are a fab way to help minimise noise as the foliage will help to absorb sound and reduce the reverberation time, especially in rooms that have concrete or stone floors.
